Re: rsync across nfs

I have a similar setup and goal as Tim. As another approach to the problem I've been pushing the sync's out to the destinations rather than having the destinations pull the data. I have 2G RAM on the source box (Solaris with a netapps disk) and I push the data via rsync/ssh to destinations in par

One thing you can do to decrease your load is to ad the -W option. If you're reading it via nfs to do the checksumming, you have to read the entire file anyway, so you might as well just move the entire file, instead of wasting processor power, and reading the entire file twice (or more, actua

rsync across nfs

2001-04-11 Thread Dan Phoenix
I currently use rsync across an nfs mount. This nfs server is a sparc solaris machine mounting to approx 30 freebsd and 10 linux machines. When a typical rsync occurs to replicate data across all these machines they all rsync /usr/local/bin/rsync -az --delete --force /home/cvs/website/confi

Moving files via rsync

2001-04-11 Thread Wayne Davison
I wanted to be able to "move" files from server to server via rsync, so I've added a simple "--move-files" (-m) option to my copy of the source. The end result of this change is that any files that are actually copied from the sender to the receiver get removed by the sender (the code does not cu
